Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Do following things for better symptomatic relief in GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
3. Take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach twice daily
4. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux.
5. Go for walking after meals. Quit smoking or alcohol if you have these habits.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1-2 weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
